After university (several thousand years ago) I decided to pursue a career in graphic & web design. But during the years of slaving / working in that field my creative energy was being slowly stifled.
Then one day I stumbled into the warehouse of a local e-waste recycler, with boxes and shelves filled with beautiful and unique bits and pieces I had a lightbulb moment. I had never really been interested in conventional jewelry and with all these lovely and interesting things within my grasp I became inspired and empowered to create.
I now create in my tiny workshop using a tile saw, scroll saw, soldering gun, super glue, wire cutters, pliers and a warehouse FULL of colorful circuit boards, resistors, capacitors, led lights and reams of wire. I love what i do. I love that each unique and one of a kind piece i make i am doing my own small part in recycling and saving the world. yeah i'm an upcycling geektastic superhero.
